About Gisele Plouffe

Hi! We are Gisele Plouffe and Guy Keller and are the owners of this property. We also live on the premises. Gisele is a local real estate agent at Sotheby's International Realty in Los Feliz, and Guy is a General Contractor. Silver Lake has been our home for about 15 years and we love it here.

Gisele is an LA native and Guy is a mid-west transplant of 30 years, which makes him a native as well. The other resident of the property is our cat 'Pepi le pew'. He can be seen roaming the property.

The two of us have restored many property's back to their original glory. Dahlia Lodge is just one of them. It is our passion to bring these old residences back to life!

Gisele Plouffe purchased this lodge in 2011

Why Gisele Plouffe chose Los Angeles area

Los Angeles as well as Silver Lake is our home. We LOVE it here! We chose this area because it has a great diversity of people, architecture, history, art, cafes, restaurants, and nature. We are close to downtown, midtown and the beach. We can be in the desert in a couple of hours, any local beaches or skiing on snow in the same amount of time. We have it all here along with great weather.

What makes this lodge unique

When we first bought this property, everyone that walked into the Lodge said 'WOW'. It has that 'WOW' factor! We bought it from a mature lady who had let the lodge run down, Guy & I lovingly restored it back to its original glory.

It is surrounded by windows on all sides and the sunset views are beautiful from there. We know anyone staying there will enjoy it and return to stay.

Quiet and comfortable

This our 5th time staying at either The Lodge or The Chateau. Both are awesome properties! It is so quiet and relaxing at The Lodge. We especially like the outside patio area for morning coffee or a drink later in the day. The location is perfect for walking down to Sunset for coffee, lunch or dinner. The Lodge is clean, comfortable and well equipped for cooking meals there as well. Always plenty of parking on the street. I highly recommend this property!!

Live like Hemingway in a secluded 1930's lodge in the Silver Lake Hills.

What can I say, other than perfect. Great location, great kitchen with a vintage working stove, working fireplace. Like summer camp but much more luxurious. We didn't want to leave but walking around the hills revealed some incredible 30's and mid-century architecture. Gisele is fantastic and an encyclopedia of the area. Would we return? You bet.

Perfect and convenient!

Thank you Gisele and Guy for a safe and comfortable stay for my tenant Chris and his pets Diego & Tinsel. Your property was quiet, convenient and very safe/secure. I was worried about displacing him while my own property was being serviced but your hospitality and cute lodge was the perfect remedy. Highly recommended! Thank you so much!

Car: recommended

A multicultural blend of residents with electric professionals and a booming arts scene.

Local attractions include the Hollywood Sign, Griffith Observatory, LA Zoo, Greek Theater, Hollywood walk of fame, and Hollywood & Highland. Silver Lake is also Downtown LA close, for the many attractions to be seen there.

The owners live on the property as well, and are available to recommend good eating spots and many local must sees!
